I'm doing the profile for this film there are already 9 profiles for this film in the database but the information i am trying to find is different in some of them so am hopping you can help me.

Release date there are three different dates in the 9 profiles 1972 in 6 1973 in 2 and 1 for 1974
also can anyone help with the CoO i think it could be either Spain or Italy but not sure.

I don't have this DVD at hand right now, so I can't check it personally. If I were you I would use the copyright year found in the credits (or alternatively on the cover) as production year, since different online sources seem to operate with different release years.

As for CoO, it was not an Italian production, but rather a Spanish/UK co-production, according to several online sources. Check the name of the first production studio in the credits (NOT the distribution studio, though) or the name of the producer(s) - if it's UK then put UK as CoO, if it's Spanish use Spain as CoO.

Yeah, it was a Spanish/UK co-production, they started filming in Dec 1972, released in some territories in Dec '73 and in others in Jan '74 - which may explain the different years.

Well at the beginning of the film it says "A presentation of Motion Picture Holdings"
Copyright MCMLXXXIV
Cannot find anything on them sounds more English than Spanish i suppose but need some proof can't put UK as CoO on a hunch.

I may be wrong but I think a "presentation" credit means that's the distributor, not the production company. Are any other companies mentioned?
Also, are you sure about that copyright? MCMLXXXIV means 1984 - 10 years too late!

Motion Picture Holdings is at the beginning of the film at the front of the DVD before the film starts you have 
Geneon
Presented By Geneon Entertainment (USA) INC.
TV Matters (Amsterdam/New York)

Then At the beginning of the film

A presentation of Motion Picture Holdings Copyright MCMLXXXIV

On the back cover in the credits there you have

Benmar Productions
Granada Films

There are no end credits just a black screen with music that goes on for about a minuet or so (I wonder if the end credits have been removed for some reason)

If you own one of the many public domain (NOT bootleg!) releases of this title then that could explain the strange copyright warnings and missing end credits.
